Do you naturally Supinate or Pronate when walking or running.

I almost feel sick thinking about how it feels to twist an angle that's already been twisted.
Don't take the risk, I would advise a bit of time to let it settle down, make sure your laces are always done up properly, and if its on-going orthotics are an option under the guidance of a gait specialist.
If you cant hold yourself back, You might get away with slow half squats,or leg press either socks/ bare feet or weightlifting shoes, never trainers. just really concentrating on keeping your ankles solid. Ive rolled an injured ankle while squatting in trainers, knee tracked slightly out compressed the out side sole just beyond the point where I had stability. That was the proverbial straw I never came back from...... And I would avoid any sort of Plyos without a descent ankle support or until you feel the inflammation has settled down.
I bought a pair of those supports Andy Murray plays in, good support at the angles I need and decent free movement where I don't.


Hi Mate.

There will be no squatting for months.
Some solid sounding advice. Supports for my soles haven't been mentioned at all, but will make sure I keep laces tight.
Cheers
